The event had plenty of other activities, as well. The Kiwanis Club served breakfast before the Remembering Justin 5K and 1-mile fun run/walk in memory of Justin Johnston. There also was a motorcycle show, 4-H pie baking contest, exotic pets zoo, pony rides and children’s rides and games. Firefighters had a firemen’s tug-of-war and a Lifestar helicopter landed at noon.

“It’s good entertainment for the community,” Weeks said of the blowout. “There’s something for the entire community.”
